“Eliot Spitzer knew how to catch bad guys by following the money. As attorney general, he once broke up a call-girl ring and locked up 16 people on corruption, money-laundering and prostitution charges. He ruthlessly investigated the pay packages of Wall Street executives and was so familiar with shady financial maneuvers that he was promoted to the top racketeering prosecutor in Manhattan. But in the end, it appears that Spitzer may be done in by the same behavior that he built a career out of prosecuting.” — Samantha Gross and Devin Bartlett, New York Newsday
